The Rolodex Lookup (a.k.a. Non-Employee Lookup) screen allows you to refine criteria to search for and retrieve resulting contact information about non-employees. The purpose of the Rolodex maintenance document is to create and maintain contact information for members of organizations outside your institution.
• Search Results: The results display information in table format that is sortable by column (for example, by Organization or Last Name). These can also be exported to a spreadsheet on your local drive. Results include name, organization, location, contact and sponsor information.
• Drilldown Actions: From the results, you are able to “drill down” on Sponsor Code column links that display information about the sponsor the non-employee is affiliated with from the Sponsor maintenance document. Also from the results, you are able to click a Rolodex Id column link to drill down into the complete Rolodex table record in a separate browser window.
• Other Available Actions: With sufficient permissions, additional actions are possible, including create new (creates a new Rolodex maintenance document), edit (modify existing Rolodex maintenance document), or copy (copy content to a new Rolodex maintenance document with a unique document number that you can then modify).
It is accessed from either the Unit or Central Admin menus via the Non-Employee Lookup link in the Quicklinks group.
Additionally, it is accessed from the Maintenance menu via the Non-Employee Lookup link in the Shared group.
The Rolodex Lookup screen displays several selection and entry fields in addition to action buttons in the search criteria area. Results are displayed below the search criteria area in table format.
